I mean the one that jumps out at me is young master since KFB does almost all their Jackie Chan movies. But he also already did the last young master cover. But my best guess would be young master 4K.

I still lack a 4K display and player, so such re-released generally don't interest me.

 

However.  If 88 managed to find a high quality source for the Taiwan version scenes (without that blurred out watermark) and integrated it into a complete hybrid cut (with that sweet Export Cut music)?  I'd double-dip on another Blu-Ray in a heartbeat.

Brandon Bentley has said everyone's JC film guesses are wrong.

Shot in the dark: Dance of the Drunk Mantis? I don't even remember if the stool is all that important, but I've gotta throw it out there.

Revenge of Kung Fu Mao. Angela uses a bench in this movie, and since there are new releases of her movies, maybe we can hope...

Oh crap!  I’m by no means saying this is the movie but one movie with a significant bench fight is Shaolin Intruders. That was released by shout in the US but I don’t think it was released in the UK. I guess that would either have to be a UK only title or maybe shouts license on it ended in 2023. 
 

or…. It’s just not Shaolin intruders which seems like the more probable outcome

@starschwar might have something. One thing interesting about the wooden bench in Dance of the Drunken Mantis is that it has two "rungs" on the site, while the ones from The Young Master, for example, have one.

The ones in Kung Fu Bob's art also have two. It also lies at a very similar angle to the one Rubber Legs is sat on in the picture above.

With that said, perhaps I'm analyzing things too much.

If they release Dance of Drunken Mantis, woah, peak kung fu release for them.

We're only analyzing a stool sample.  That's standard investigative technique.

Wooden stool reminds me of Fong Sai Yuk 2. 

This sounds like the strongest candidate so far.  Also meets the double rung argument and fits the current theme of Jet Li releases. I assume they wouldn’t release this without part 1 though

Nah, If it is then Fong Sai Yuk 1 & 2 would most likely be released maybe.

I'm pretty certain these were coming from 88.

You might be on to something... as the person 88 tagged in that post was involved in the commentary on the Ronin Flix release.
